Kycilia had political ambitions at a young age and tried to establish military power and political channels on her own in order to compete with her eldest brother Gihren, but she realized that it would be difficult to do so in a straightforward manner against Gihren, who was older than her and had already thrown himself into politics. Perhaps because of this, she tends to focus on new things such as mobile suits and newtypes.
Kycilia was quick to adapt to the changing technology of the One Year War and was equally proficient in gathering intelligence for use against the Federation. She was in charge of the Zeon Army's MS Forces and was responsible for their use against the Federation. In addition, she was responsible for the creation of numerous elite Mobile Suit units, including Char Aznable's (while aware of his true identity),[1] 300th Independent Corps (aka Char's Newtype Corps), the hand-picked Chimera Corps, and the Midnight Fenrir covert ops team.
